Program 3: other voices other rooms

Program 3 will feature artist Cristiana Miranda in attendance.

“Opening with a silent meditation on the cosmos, a study in celestial motion, the films in this program critique the touristic gaze and blur the boundaries between the virtual and the real, between ethnography and fiction, and rewrite traumatic histories while presenting visions both utopian and dystopic. Dynastic imaginary spaces erupt into our physical plane while virtual geographies turn back on themselves endlessly. A chorus of feminine voices, the deep murmur of subterranean waters, written and dreamed words, laughter, the ecstasy of rediscovered memory, the enlightenment.”

― San Francisco Cinematheque
